He Meyer Got Such a Hngging Raf0re

He Meyer Got Such a Hugging Before.
Said Seth Green, the fish culturist
Il was trout fishing on Pine creek
Pennsylvania, below Smiths dam.
The creek below the dam was about
five rods across, and the bottom cov
cred with hard heads from the size
of a goose egg 10 barrel. The water
was three feet deep, and whirled
around like the whirlpool of Niagara
There was no escape there for anybody
if he was unlucky enough TO get in
unless he was very expert swimmer.
There were saw. horses placed across
the creek and plankS fastened to them
for foot bridge. l had a twelve
pound basket nearly filled when |
saw an eighteen year-old girl come
on the bridge. When she got to me
/ stepped on one Of the saw-horses to
let her pass. / watched her as she
continued, and don't think she had
got more than thirty feet from me
before / noticed that her head began
to swim. She gave one of those pe-
cullar screams such as are natural to
the girls when in danger, tottered for
an instant and fell head foremostdown
the stream, and being bouyed. up
somewhat by her clothing the swift
current carried her rapidly along to.

and turned her around, and the first
thing she did was to clutch me with
one hand and push her clothes down
with the other, and when she got
them below the surface we were both
taken off our feet and went slipping

rods before 1 gained footing. The
girl must have been very fond of me,

life as she gave me. l had my trout

A New Official Test.

When Cleveland took hold of the
ship in Washington he appointed Bill
Hyde postmaster at st. Louis. About
the first act of the new official was to
find out the politics of his suhordi-
mates, and this done he began sitting
Republicans from Democrats without
any regard to the civil service law.
Among the employees who lost their
head was good Republican who had
been in Office ever since the assassi-
nation of President Lincoln. This
man called on Hyde the day after his
j. dismissal and said:
"Mr. Hyde, received a note from
a faou yesterday in which you say that
10y services are no longer required in
t soae postoffice."

Voudoo Worship.

Sir Spencer st. John gives spiri-
ted description of Voudoo worship
in Hayti. according to the true
secretaries of the voudoos," he says,
"who maintain it's principles and
obey its rules, 'voudoo' signifies an
all-powerful and supernatural being,
on whom depends all the events
which take place in the world. This
being is the nOn-VenOmouS serpent
one 80 common in Hayti-and 1t is
under its auspices that all those as
semble who profess this doctrine.
Acquaintance with the past, knowl-
edge of the present, prescience of the
future, all appertain to this serpent,
that only consents. however. to COM
municate and prescribe his will
through the organ of grand priest,
whom the secretaries elect, and still
more by that of the negress, whom
the love of the latter had raised to
the rank of high priestess. These
two delegates, who declare them
selves inspired by their god. or in
whom the gift of inspiration is really
manifested in the opinion of their
followers. bear the pompous names
of King and Queen or the des'
potic ones of Master or Mistress,
or the touching titles of Papa and
Mamma They are during their
whole lives the chiefs of the great
family of the youdoos, and they
have right to the unlimited respect
of those who compose it. Ii is they
who decide if the serpent agrees to
admit candidate into the society,
who prescribe the Obligations and
the duties he is to fulfill; it is they
who receive the gifts and presents
which the god expects as just hon.
age to him.
ITO disobey them, to resist them,
is to disobey God himself and to ex-
pose ones self to the greatest mis-
fortunes"
"This system of domination on the
one hand and of blind obedience on
the other being we'll established, they
at fixed dates meet together, and the
king and queen of the Youdoos pre-
side, following the forms which were
probably brought from Africa and to
which Creole customs have added
many variations and some traits
which betray European ideas, as, for
instance, the scarf or rich belt which
the queen wears at these assemblies,
and which she occasionally varies"
AS for the practice of Youdoo wor-
ship, it is well to say that of the
votaries in Hayti there seems to be
two classes-those who worship the
serpent and offer animal sacrifices to
appease his wrath or court his favor,
and those who kill human beings
and not only offer them as sacrifices,
but eat their flesh. The temples of
the voudoo are generally small, I'M
pretentious wooden bnildings-called
by the natives Humforto-and are
scattered generally throughout the
interior of Hayti. Some of them are
most homogeneous in their interior
decorations, and one situat ed little
distance back of Heaux du Cap, was
profusely decorated with illustrations
from colored weekly pamphlets, in
terspersed with gaudy chronicle pic.

An Impending EVIL.

An AmpOAuiuf1 Gf11
A social reformer, who is as precise
in his statements of facts as he is ex-
pert in the manipulation of figures,
reports as the result of the inyestiga-
ton that the number of marriages is
decreasing every year. We have just
cause of alarm if the report is true.
Certainly the choice of wife is sub
ject full of piquant attraction to a
romantic young man who mas sown
his wild oats and is saving his earn
ing and longs for the comfort and
slippered ease of a home of his own.
The difficulties ofcourtship. however,
are perplexing, arduous and real, In
KnickerbOcker times the knot was
securely tied after bluff proposal
and the young married couple were
ready to start housekeeping with a
barrel of potatoes, blunderbuss and
family Bible. Then life was idyl-
lie and full of romance and song.
But tempora mutantur and they
change for the worse, in most respects.
No longer do the married pair flutter
through life on wings of romance,
The chief bond of interest that unite
young lovers in this mercenary age
is Government four per cent. The
domestic tie is so elastic. divorces so
easily procured, the feminine heart is
so tickle withal. that eligible young
men feel morbldly shy about expos
ing themselves to the matrimonial
moose ana would as soon think of
slipping halter around the neck.
The rule of woman in masculine
attire and common sense shoes is not
pleasant spectacle to contemplate.
But if the girls of the Republic are
not married off in some way, old
maids of the most virulent type, in
various stages of physical decline,
will be clamoring for their rights
with exceeding vigor and persistency,
and who knows whether there will
be enough green tea and scandal left
to go around? Already the census
table shows deplorable increase in
their number. They are organizing
crusades against the most cherished
institution of mankind.
If for no other reasons than the
above human ingenuity should de.
wise some method of facilitating pro-
posal and tightening the knot so there
can be no escape. Cynics scoff at the
marital relations. Idle fiirtations are
destroying the confidence of young
people of romantic temperament in
one another. Sir George Campbell
has endeavored to prove that there is
no such thing as love; that it is a
psychological delusion. SO long as
these ideas prevail, no easy. going
youth will feel like sacrificing the
frolic and fun of Bohemia for the
martyrdom of the domestic circle.
But legislation can rectify the evil
The lawmakers should take the mat
ter in hand. They can make court
ship civic duty which the individ-
nal owes to society, and enforce it by
law, Were men who persist in re-
manning single disfranchised and di-
visited of their property, and were
women who refused to marry shut up
in converts and denied access to the
fashion magazines, the aggressive
type of maiden lady who delights in
agitating social and political reforms,
would gradually disappear and an
Ominous evil would be averted. an
evil that all sensible people would
seriously deplOre.
